just in in-tray from pal who lost all except main abode, due to slower than usual agility and heavier than recommended leverage, and needs to (i) raise whatever cash he can as soon as possible, so that (ii) he can hold on to try to sell his main abode at any still reasonable price, as (iii) the very upmarket abode has attracted no bids that held for more than 24 hours, since (iv) banks are not financing leasehold property, however valuable. should pal be able to liberate abode into cash, less debt on abode, he would have anywhere between 1-2 mil zero-state reset starting stake, down from say around 15-20 mil a year ago. i will take the metal off of pal's hands at the bank bid tomorrow, to mineralize excess savings, and may take the rocks assuming valuation within my appetite for rocks to be handed to my wife, daughter and whomever in the family, to crystalize surplus capital. Jay, I sent all the apostilled docs two weeks ago to xxxxxxx bank. They should have received everything by now. I'm not sure if you are in town, but I would appreciate it if you could check and get some things out of the box! Specifically, there should be a plastic bag containing 3 3-4 carat sapphires and another lighter blue stone as well as a bill of sale for approx HK $ ______ bought in 1996. Secondly there should be some gold coins/taels and a few platinum coins. I need to raise what little cash there is from these metals, so if you could sell them to the bank (or yourself if you are still looking for them) and get the cash I would appreciate it. My GPO box has been inadvertantly closed due to a change in mailing service, so there may be an outstanding charge of HK$ 500 or thereabouts on the box, however I am unsure as I haven't seen the bill. Please deduct whatever is needed from the coin sales. As for the stones, I am emailing xxxx to find out if he can take them back or if i should take them here - will let you know pronto. Thanks for all your help in this. In the note you sent me, you sounded like you and the family would like a break in a sunny clime. Please know that all your family are always invited to stay here at the beach. If you want a quick XMAS break just let me know!
